Designed for the LP Race Project and poured in our SP1 formula, they combine predictable slides, strong edge grip, high roll speed, and exceptional consistency into a wheel that feels approachable from the very first run. Easy enough for intermediate riders to build confidence on, yet capable enough for advanced riders to push hard in real mountain conditions. Durable, affordable, and resistant to flat spots, the PolYmers are built to do everything from everyday freeride sessions to full open road runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy we made it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe made the PolYmers because of the Race Project. We wanted every rider to compete on the same wheel, which meant creating an easy race wheel that felt safe and predictable for intermediate riders while still offering enough roll speed and edge grip for advanced racers to push hard. Affordability was also essential for the Race Project, which is why we chose to manufacture them in China in order to achieve the best possible balance between quality and cost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho is it for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PolYmers are designed as a true all round downhill wheel. Their smooth and predictable slide characteristics make them easy to control, with a very consistent release and hookup, while the sharp lips provide enough edge grip to stay confident through corners. For intermediate riders, they are an approachable first step into downhill wheels thanks to their forgiving and easy to ride nature. For advanced riders, the PolYmers are the do it all option. Their exceptional resistance to flat spots and highly consistent behavior make them especially well suited for long sessions, demanding mountain runs, and open road skating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PolYmers feature a 76 mm diameter and a 65 mm contact patch, poured in our 76A SP1 formula. After extensive testing, we found 76A to offer the best balance between comfort, consistency, and roll speed, while also providing excellent resistance to flat spots for long lasting performance. Their shape uses a relatively thin urethane layer, giving the wheels their sharp feel and fast acceleration. The thin lip profile provides a precise and supportive edge while maintaining smooth slide characteristics. The wheels are centerset with near symmetrical lips, allowing them to be rotated for a longer lifespan and more even wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading text-base-xl font-medium leading-none flex items-center gap-2d5 md:gap-3\"\u003eQuality engagement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe PolYmers follow our batch tracking policy, meaning every production run is identified with a unique batch ID such as \u003cstrong\u003e117601\u003c\/strong\u003e. The first digit refers to the shape, the second to the formula generation such as SP1 or SP2, the following two digits indicate the durometer, and the last two digits correspond to the production batch number. This system allows us to ensure full traceability across every wheel we produce. We are committed to being transparent and honest about production quality and consistency. If an issue ever appears within a specific batch, we use these batch IDs to identify the affected wheels quickly and work toward a solution that is fair and transparent for everyone involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"La Paulade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62844942319775,"sku":null,"price":149.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1501\/9446\/files\/BR_2662-2_e32b3be9-2975-4c5f-ae4f-0b703f1e5db8.webp?v=1785904350","url":"https:\/\/www.theboardroom.co.nz\/products\/la-paulade-polymers-76mm-76a-longboard-wheels","provider":"The Boardroom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
